## Abstract

Understanding flavor dependence of the parton energy loss is one of key tasks of the jet quenching physics. In these proceedings we provide a summary of recent works on a quantification of the flavor dependence of parton energy loss along with a summary and discussion of a subset of contributions presented at the Hard Probes 2016 conference which are related to the flavor aspects of parton energy loss.
